Abstract A facile and environmentally friendly approach to produce self-doped hierachically porous carbon as electrode material for high-performance supercapacitor was demonstrated. 3D honeycomb-like hierarchically porous carbon was successfully obtained by one-step carbonization and activation of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) via K2CO3. With the optimized temperature of carbonization and activation, the porous carbon material achieved well-shaped hierarchically pores (micro-, meso and macropores) like a honeycomb, ultrahigh specific surface area (1666 m2·g-1), as well as highly O-self-doping (3.6 at.%), endowing an excellent electrochemical properties for the electrode in three-electrode system. The porous carbon electrode material delivered a high specific capacitance of 300.8 F·g-1 at 1 A·g-1, an eminent rate capability of 228.4 F·g-1 at the current density up to 20 A·g-1 and outstanding cycle stability of 94.3% retention after 10000 cycles. Therefore, the CMC derived hierarchical porous carbon activated by K2CO3 would have promising foreground in application of supercapacitors.

In the aim to go beyond the performance tradeoffs of classic electric double-layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance, composites made out of carbon and pseudo-capacitive materials have been a hot-spot strategy. In this paper, a nest-like MnO2 nanowire/hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) composite (MPC) was successfully fabricated by a controllable in situ chemical co-precipitation method from oily sludge waste. Due to the advantages of high surface area and fast charge transfer for HPC as well as the large pseudo-capacitance for MnO2 nanowires, the as-prepared MPC has good capacitance performance with a specific capacitance of 437.9 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1, favorable rate capability of 79.2% retention at 20 A g−1, and long-term cycle stability of 78.5% retention after 5000 cycles at 5 A g−1. Meanwhile, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was assembled using MPC as the cathode while HPC was the anode, which exhibits a superior energy density of 58.67 W h kg−1 at the corresponding power density of 498.8 W kg−1. These extraordinary electrochemical properties highlight the prospect of our waste-derived composites electrode material to replace conventional electrode materials for a high-performance supercapacitor.
